My Edmonds Restaurant News

Research can be tough. Recently, as I read the description of Greek yogurt panna cotta on the Epulo dessert menu, I swear my jeans shrank a size. What can I say? I do love good food and especially desserts. Imagine my delight when Epulo Bistro owner Tim Morris invited me to learn about and sample their house-cured meats, sausages and their amazing house-made pouches of heaven, better known as Burr... »

OK, it was a culinary expedition, Edmonds-style, of course. I had the good fortune to attend a company-hosted party at Demetris WoodStone Taverna again this holiday season.

My mate asked a favor. It involved getting up earlier than usual and following him to the repair shop so he could drop off his Jetta.” Sure, why not.” I must not have looked too enthusiastic, as he added “I’ll take you out for breakfast!” Great!

Bad news in downtown Edmonds for the Beef/Burger joints, as both Bill the Butcher and the 50’s Burger Bar had notes posted on their doors.

I believe there is a secret culinary garden somewhere down near our Edmonds Ferry terminal. A plot tucked away, filled with rows of greens and herbs.

A film like One Hundred Foot Journey playing in Edmonds ... »
